Is your relationship with your wife, or teenager not perfect but not completely rotten either?
Is there a relative peace indispersed with fiery conflicts?
Do you hear the words "You don't understand me!" quite often?
Do you find yourself looking to your work, or your hobbies or to other things to meet needs that are not being fulfilled in your relationship?
Relationships Erode Without Warning
The problem with relationships is that we need them because they meet needs, but they are complicated and need constant attention. Without that attention, your relationships erode like a cliff pounded day in and day out by the waves of the sea.
No need to protect against that erosion, then strengthen your relationship so it can withstand not just the erosion, but the fiercest storm. How do you do that?
Protection Your Relationships
Start by listening to this podcast - episode #30 - which is all about how relationships erode. Simplified down to a 7 stage model, Chris and Guy take you through the 7 stages of a relationship crash to help you identify exactly where your relationship is in the cycle so you can apply exactly the right 'fortifications' against any further erosion.

Fear can have an inertia of its own that can keep us tied up. We can be dying on the inside with a fear of something, and nobody knows.
That is a lonely and horrible place to be ... but sadly something that doesn't get better on its own. Many people take that fear to their grave.
In episode 29 of Real Talk 4 Real Men, Podcast Bros Chris and Guy tackle fear head-on.
Don't remain a slave to fear any longer.

If you say you love your cat and you love your wife, do you mean the same thing?
Of course not!
You know that you mean something different in each case, but it highlights a problem in the English language - what we mean by 'love'.
In this episode, Guy and Chris dissect the meaning of 'love' as it applies to a relationship (especially marriage).
And no, we are not talking about the 5 loves LANGUAGES made famous by Dr Gary Chapman. We are talking about the 5 love TYPES.
What are they and why are they so important in marriage?

Can you be too caring?
Are you giving your kids (and maybe even your wife) too much or not enough responsibility?
In episode 27 of Real Talk 4 Real Men, Chris and Guy explore walking the line between care and responsibility with our loved ones.
I must be a perfect dad!
Your loved ones do not need you to be perfect - but they do need you to frequently evaluate how you are managing and progressing your relationship with them.
Your relationship can not stay the same. If you are not intentional about it, then it may end up someplace you never intended it to be.
How brave are you?
The bravest amongst you will ask your wife to listen to this episode and then ask her the question:
How am I doing waking the line between care and responsibility with you?

Some people go through life without much in the way of vision.
Their attitude is to go 'with the flow' from day to day and make decisions based on whatever comes.
Other people are vision driven. These people will pursue a vision to see it fulfilled at all costs.
End Up Somewhere on Purpose
The reality is that we all end up somewhere in each of our key life accounts like family, work, faith and health. Why not end up somewhere you really want to be, rather than just hoping you get it right flying by the seat of your pants?
In episode 26 of Real Talk 4 Real Men, Guy and Chris discuss this topic of having vision without it costing you more than you ultimately want.
Pursue Your Vision With Caution
You will hear Guy sharing some of his journey as a man who has had a lot of vision for his life. How this started as a young man ( like many young men) who wanted to follow his sporting heroes, to a having a vision for his family, career, wealth and other areas of life. But along the way, Guy learnt that not all visions are the right visions and that even the best visions can destroy you if you do not heed a few cautions along the way.

In episode #24 we met legendary classical, rock and opera singer Peter Brocklehurst. The tenor cobbler with the incomparable voice.
Peter's life is all about transformation:
- From a daily diet of upwards of 10 litres of wine, Jack Daniels from breakfast and canned beer for a chaser, to alcohol fee.
- From a destructive smoking habit to smoke-free
- From internal organs that were shutting down to fully recovered
- From 2 destroyed marriages to love and happiness with a kindred spirit, and
- From throwing himself off a cliff and time in a mental hospital to a budding bible scholar and part-time preacher
Any single one of these miracles would be remarkable on its own.
But Peter's greatest transformation was something different again.
What was it?
That's what this episode is all about.
Love to hear your thoughts.
You can do so on our website or on Facebook. We'd love to hear from you.

Fathering 101
In this week's podcast, Darren Lewis joins Chris and Guy and reveals the secrets to Fathering 101.
"Parenting well is the hardest thing you will ever undertake. As parents, we know full well that our children don’t come with a manual, that provides us with everything we need, to raise them into the healthy and whole adults that our world needs them to be. It’s so easy for us to fall into being a reactive parent, rather than a proactive parent… to become distracted by mere behavior management, rather than providing them with what they need from us most… " Darren Lewis, fatheringadventures.com.au
Here is your 3 step plan to being proactive, rather than a mere manager:

Wouldn't You Like a Second Chance?
How we all wish we always could have a second chance.
Perhaps it is something said to a teenager, or to your wife, or a mistake made at work.
How I wish I could have always had a second chance after my mistakes.
Glen Weeks joined the army after rebelling against his parents in the mid-1960's. That decision just before the largest Viet Cong offensive in the Vietnam war, set in place a sequence of events that would demonstrate many lessons and produce an extraordinary life.
But there is perhaps no lesson as great as the lesson from Glen's life that there is a God who gives second you and me a chance.
Listen to the compelling story of Glen Weeks, decorated war hero, NYPD officer and now an international preacher.
This is his story.
Enjoy!
